I haven't seen the boy since yesterday, I figure he stayed in the bathroom until school ended, because he'd usually be in my last period, but I didn't see him until after school where he ran as far away from me as his legs could take him. I only wanted to talk to him. What did I ever do? I'll be sure to talk to him today! That is a promise! xx-Alex
I put the journal down on my side table and I threw on a pair of shoes to go outside for my walk to school. When I got their, I got through all my classes with no problem.
Math with Mr. Hermit
Science with Mr. Makey
Reading/Writing with Ms. Zabkar
Social Studies with Ms. Slovick
Art with Mr. Stein
And Gym with Ms. Osborne
When I was on my way to the lockers after the bell rang, I was pretty much the last person in the whole school, even the teachers were gone. I was alone, or so I thought.
"P-please no!" I heard following a whimper around the corner. I ran to the noise and found the football team, standing behind Jordan who was holding the shy nerdy boy by the collar with his fist pulled back, ready to strike.
"Hey, stop." Still, he payed no attention and continued to taunt the boy.
"Hey! Are you listening? I said stop!" I said, a hand on my hip.
No response.
I walked up, slapped Jordan in the face and shoved him away from the boy.
"ENOUGH!" I screamed, taking the football team aback in shock.
"Who are you to come and interrupt me?" Jordan asked, annoyed.
"Alexandria Adilyn Black." I replied, not moving a muscle.
"I was in the middle of teaching this kid a lesson! Faggots aren't welcome in my school!" He said, pointing to the boy.
I looked back at him, his eyes were filled with tears as he looked down. I looked back at Jordan, more anger in my face now.
"Well, I've been bullied by you before, you were the meanest bully I'd ever had and I had at least 15."
"That was before you got so damn hot!" He bit his lip.
I was discusted, "So you treated me like shit because I didn't look how you thought was 'hot'? Because i was different from other people? Because I was nerdy and got good grades, wore glasses and had braces? Dressed nice and talked with a stutter? Well guess what? You can kiss my ass!"
The team gasped at my sudden takeover and looked worriedly at Jordan to see what would happen. He looked me dead in the eyes and asked me, "Why are you standing up for him? He's nerdy and stupid looking. You should be hanging around people more your level."
"Well You're not on my level." I replied as everyone gasped.
"You have no right to be so mean and abusive to someone you don't even know. I don't know this kid, but I'm certainly not gonna bully him just because he's different! I used to be just like him! So why don't you do the world a HUGE favor and FUCK OFF!" I said as i punched him in the face, causing him to fall on the ground.
"The next time I hear you've been going anywhere near him I'll break your nose like a fucking Lays potato chip!"
I grabbed the boy's wrist and pulled him outside, completely forgetting about my stuff. I walked into the parking lot to see that my twin brother had dropped my car off for me, So I jumped in the car and made sure the boy was beside me, in the passenger seat before driving down the road, getting directions to his house on the way.
When we got to his house, I asked him something I didn't know after all this time...
